The all-wheel drive version of the 2023 Nissan Ariya, featuring the e-4ORCE dual-motor powertrain, is finally available in the US. The Ariya e-4ORCE is rated at 389 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque, making it substantially quicker than the front-wheel drive models. The e-4ORCE system can split power front to rear, brake the wheels on one side to help settle the car when cornering, and modulate the rear motor's regenerative braking to reduce nosedive under hard deceleration. The Ariya offers a natural feel and good grip in slippery conditions, with a focus on "confidence and comfort" rather than sporty handling.
